    I was just having a similar problem with one camera using the beta version. Changing the resolution made the camera start working again, then you can just change it back.

      I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on two cameras, however I have a few questions:
      In post #118, inorkuo recommended the Kayeton black and white global shutter 120fps usb camera (KYT-U100-GS2ML) and Reiner the color version (KYT-U100-GS1ML). Is there a performance difference between these two in relation to cpu /graphics card overhead, lighting conditions, blurring, etc, or just preference?

      And if I understand correctly the Kinovea 0.9.1 comes with its own audio trigger and the ability to run two instances of kinovea making the need for audiozonetrigger and VLC obsolete?

      Is there a limit to the active usb extension cable length one should avoid?

      Any help would be appreciated!
      Thanks

        I bought the Kayeton black and white global shutter 120fps usb camera and the OV2710. The Kayeton is far superior for slow motion swing playback. I ordered it from Amazon and they estimated a 5-6 week wait. I had it in less than 2. I would definitely get this one.

        I use a 15ft USB extension cable from Amazon and there are no issues.

        Yes Kinovea does all of this now

          Thank you bs531 for the quick reply.
          Does anyone have a comment on the Black and White vs Color question?

            Hi Guys! My simulator desktop died yesterday... just wondering what I should be getting for a mother board and processor to run Kinovea as well as TGC2019? Really want to record my swings these days... I keep my desktop in my basement and swing in my garage (I live in Canada so it gets pretty cold) and I use active repeating cables with a USB powered hub in my garage and my PS3 and OV2710 cameras are VERY inconsistent in working unfortunately... not in recording... just in working. Probably a different topic but thought I'd mention it here on the off chance. Thanks!

              Before I give up on this: has anyone had any luck getting PS3 Eye to read at its proper specs in Kinovea 9.1 beta? Can't get it above 60FPS on mine even though CL-Eye sees it properly as 187FPS

              It's fine in 8.15, but no audio trigger with that one.

                The driver from CL-Eye is 32 bit only, check message #120 of this discussion there is a link to another driver that works for 64 bit programs.

                Hi, thanks to all for this geat thread. I use the driver for 64 bit programs, but still can“t get the PS3 Eye to work at 187 fps in Kinovea 0.9.3 (max. is 60 fps). Could anyone solve this?

              Hey all

              been using the OV7210 cameras on my fsx setup for a while now. I have been having issues with them losing connection or showing just a black image for almost the whole
              time I’ve owned them.

              I will hit refresh and disconnect then and reconnect them physically. Sometimes the image comes back and records fine for a while then I lose it.

              I am using a powered usb extension for one of the cameras and both are plugged in to an external usb splitter and the. In to the gaming laptop.

              im sure that some of what I described above may be causing some of this but even when I go direct connection to the laptop the connection is spotty and questionable at best.


              any advice or experience with this out there???

              best

              adam

                This will prevent dropped frames due to low light etc. It will send the full 100 fps to Kinovea - Although the delay buffer in Kinovea 8.27 will only accept 64 of the 100fps when running the AutoIt script with microphone trigger.
                It seems that the fixed frame rate software files are too big (17MB) to attach on the forum (<1MB). Unless someone knows where I could post a link to these larger files (not my Google Drive), send me a private message with your email.

                  Does anyone happen to know if an IDS UI-3130LE-C-HQ camera will work with Kinovea? The software appears to recognize it, but the picture is blank.

                    I've had my Skytrak for years and I've always wanted a GolfTec like setup at home.
                    I can't believe I never found this thread!

                    On that note, I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to decide if I should go with KYT-U100-GS2ML (Black and white) vs KYT-U100-GS1ML (color)

                    Decisions decisions....

                      Greetings

                      I have been using the code supplied for by Inorko with two 2710s - this worked well.
                      I have now upgraded to Kinovea 9.1 and have run into a few snags and the only way I can get both cameras to work is two have 2 instances of Kinovea running at the same time.
                      I have 2 questions.

                      Q1. Have other members had a similar issue?
                      Q2. Do you use a third Instance of Kinovea for the Playback?

                        Yes, 1 instance for each camera and a 3rd with 2 Replay Observers is the way to go.

                          Hey Everyone,


                          This is a great topic, i have been looking for a setup like this for a while now.

                          So i got everything that was recommended, see below, and I am having a couple of issues with this setup


                          Issue 1: I can only run 1 OV2710 and the mic or 2 OV2710 and no mic. for some reason i can't run all 3 together.


                          Issue 2: the audiozonetrigger doesn't start the script to record the swing. I can manually hit record, take a couple of swings, then manually stop the recording and it works but it doesn't work the way is is supposed to.

                          any ideas??



                          Recommended Equipment.

                          2 cameras ( 2 OV2710's)
                          active usb extension cable
                          audiozonetrigger
                          microphone
                          kinovea version 0.8.15 (other versions will not work)

                            You might want to try a USB able that is powered by an electrical outlet. I keep my computer in my basement and simulator in the garage. I recently switched to a UsB 3.0 cable that plugs in in my garage, connected it to a powered USB hub, and my 2 cameras and microphone work most of the time. If not, a reboot of the computer fixes things usually. šŸ˜€

                          This thread is basically obsolete. Use the latest version of kinovea which has all this built in now.
